- JPMorgan Brings JPM Coin To Ether For Clients
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its deposit token representing US dollar deposits at the largest US bank, on the Ethereum network for institutional clients. It previously issued JPM Coin on Base, a Coinbase-affiliated chain with fewer users and less establishment than Ethereum. Unlike other stablecoins that retail users can freely buy, the product is available only to institutional clients, aimed at crypto-native firms with digital treasuries and as the cash leg for tokenized transactions. According to Bloomberg's Anna Irrera, JPMorgan is moving faster than many banks on blockchain payments, but its volumes remain very small compared with overall payments.
- The Banks Locked Agents Out. This Week an Agent Paid an Invoice Through the Front Door.
Between October 13 and 16, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citi, Schwab and Wells Fargo restricted AI agents from consumer accounts through four hard blocks and one contract rewrite. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called the move a “liability transfer,” citing unverified agents, shared customer credentials and unassigned liability. In contrast, a live Visa, BILL and Billtrust B2B pilot uses the Visa Trusted Agent Protocol so a BILL Payment Agent, registered in Visa's Agentic Directory, can authenticate to supplier portals without shared credentials. The agent only executes payments already approved by the buyer, using tokenized credentials. The model targets supplier invoices by accepting card payments, which could help suppliers get paid faster and improve Days Sales Outstanding.
- Jamie Dimon slammed crypto. JPMorgan quietly built JPM Coin.
JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin, a token representing dollar deposits, to Ethereum to offer it to a wider range of institutional clients. According to reporting on the bank's statement, the token supports peer-to-peer transfers across EVM networks, including Base and Ethereum. The coin was previously used on JPMorgan's private blockchain to test settling tokenized deposits and moved to Base last year. The speaker sees this as a positive sign, given the bank's long-standing skepticism toward crypto, and suggests large institutions may use both private and public networks.
- JPMorgan Picks Ethereum for JPM Coin, Citing the Network’s Liquidity and Client Use
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its dollar deposit token, on Ethereum and will offer it to institutional clients there, as announced Monday and reported by Bloomberg. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said Ethereum's liquidity and the fact that the bank's clients already use it drove the choice. The token targets large crypto firms that pay onchain and financial institutions active in tokenized assets, which can use it as onchain cash to settle trades or as collateral. JPM Coin debuted last year on Base, and it lets clients move dollars in seconds at any hour, whereas a transfer can otherwise take several days. JPMorgan's private Kinexys network already handles daily volume above $7 billion, the bank's payments arm handles around $12 trillion in daily payments, and Open Standard launched its OUSD stablecoin on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo last month.
- JPMorgan's JPM Coin, representing dollar deposits, is coming to Ethereum: Bloomberg
JPMorgan will make JPM Coin, a token representing its dollar deposits, available to institutional clients on Ethereum, according to Bloomberg. The bank says Ethereum's liquidity makes it attractive to crypto companies seeking blockchain payments and to financial firms settling trades or backing tokenized assets. The move extends JPMorgan's blockchain work beyond Base and its private Kinexys network, which processes more than $7 billion daily. The bank did not say when the token will go live on Ethereum. Meanwhile, JPMorgan is among US banks planning a shared tokenized deposit network, but it was not on Swift's list of 17 banks preparing live transactions on its blockchain ledger in July.
- BREAKING: JPMorgan Expands JPM Coin Deposit Token to Ethereum Network
JPMorgan is bringing its USD-denominated deposit token, JPM Coin (JPMD), to the Ethereum mainnet for institutional clients, extending its push into blockchain payments. The token, which represents US dollar deposits at the bank, was first launched last year on Base and lets clients send and receive money in real time, 24/7. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, described the move as further convergence between Wall Street and crypto, with banks moving onto public chains and crypto firms partnering with traditional institutions. JPMorgan already has tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX on Ethereum, and it now adds a cash leg. Ether traded near $2,434 after a rebound, with trading volume up 42% over 24 hours.
